How do you program a Yamaha remote control?

A:

Quick Answer

To program a Yamaha remote control, look up the model number of the TV or media device on the provided CD or user's manual, press the small Code Set button on the remote control using a pointed object such as a pen, press the applicable device button, and enter the registration code with the number pad. Complete all steps within one minute. The remote transmit light blinks twice if the remote programming is successful, and six times if it's unsuccessful.

If the programming is unsuccessful, repeat the process over until the light blinks twice. If there are multiple codes listed in the manual for the TV or media device model, start with the first one and work down the list until one of them successfully programs the remote. If your device isn't listed in the manual, the remote cannot register to that model.

Continue the process for DVD players, Blu-ray players and audio systems as necessary, programming the remote to each applicable button. Test the buttons for functionality with each new device to ensure proper working order.
